Your calling as a Parent
• A vessel for the growth, development
and evolution of humanity through
whom souls incarnate on earth to
further the cause of their existence
• When fellow human beings come
through you as children, you are to
create the earthly circumstances for
them to grow in a way that is pleasing
to GOD.
• Training and guiding our children to be true human
beings is way beyond dressing.
• In the words of Oprah Winfrey, “we are here to
evolve”…….that is we are to grow and develop along
the following lines…
– Spiritual
– Psychological
– Social
– Educational
– Building their personality/Character
One core value we must help to grow in our
our children revolves around the concept of self esteem:
 Self worth
 Self regard
 Self acceptance
 Faith in oneself
 Dignity
 Morale
 Self-confidence
 Self-assurance
Outward Signs of Self Esteem
• Following are some outward signs of positive
self-esteem:
• Self-direction
• An awareness of personal strengths
• An ability to solve problems
• An independent attitude
• Good self-care
• A good sense of personal limitations and
vulnerability
• The ability to say NO!
• The ability to say NO TO FASHION!
Adolescents receive training/guidance
primarily from four sources:
 Parents – in early childhood this is the strongest
 Teachers – guide students based on their own
worldview and experience
 Peers – classmates, friends (familiar and
unfamiliar), neighbours, etc
 Media – the strongest influence from films,
video musicals, social media, celebrities
Guiding the adolescent dress sense
A key value that goes along with self-esteem is teaching children
about our CULTURE of modesty and moderation in dressing.
…..Talking about the AFRICAN CULTURE…….
Flaunting nudity is a taboo in our culture
Provocative and sensual dress sense that highlight hips and
boobs are not in our culture
Short and skimpy clothes do not belong to us
Cross gender dressing is un-Africa
Clothes should be long enough to cover your knees when seated
Sagging and wearing of artificial dreadlocks
Wearing unnatural colour of hair
Right choice of footware
Harmonious colour combination
How can we help our children always:
• Pray for them
• Communication
• Be friends with your adolescent child
• Know their friends
• Know their world of influence
• TV , Celebrities
• Social media…. Facebook, Instagram ..etc
